Nobody needs it!" Likely distributed to potential buyers like beer and soda producers, the portfolio contains samples of ads placed by Alcoa in major publications like LIFE and TIME, with information on their promotional schedule. The ad, featuring a close-up of the tab being pulled, uses the slogan "Beer cans will never be the same again...SNAP! It's open!"

New York: Harper / Harper Collins, 2024. First Thus. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 6x1x9. Fatchurofi, Muhammad; Bozic, Milan. First printing of 50th anniversary edition. Brand new from publisher. An exceptional copy. 2024 Hard Cover. xvi, 361 pp. 8vo. Includes new introduction by Karen Joy Fowler. An important work of utopian fiction by Le Guin, which won the Hugo, Nebula, and Locus awards, and was nominated for the John W. Campbell award. On the surface, Le Guin's story of the brilliant physicist Shevek is a tale of a futuristic world, and the struggle of the civilizations on two separate planets to reconcile with each other's way of life. Beneath the surface run deep undercurrents of meaning -- philosophical, religious, and scientific themes that transcend the story itself. Shevek's quest to reconcile two seemingly antithetical schools of theoretical physics is also the individual's quest to reconcile individuality with social behavior, identity with belonging, and freedom with responsibility. Colored by the Taoist sensibilities with which Le Guin has long been fascinated, the parallels drawn in The Dispossessed are simultaneously vivid and subtle -- the style of writing embodies the very ideas that Le Guin attempts to convey. Widely praised even beyond the usual literary circles of science fiction, The Dispossessed is a true masterpiece, the consummation of a unique and detailed vision of a distant world surprisingly similar to our own.
